Thanks! Works fine for me. How about doing

$status = 0xffff & system ( @args );

In the camel book, p. 230, I read that to get the actual exit value of
the command ran by system(), I have to divide by 256 (there's a case of
dying because of a signal). I don't know if this adds real value here,
though.

And how about calling it "ampass"?
